[RFI] Samsung isn't completely RF quiet

[dalej]

I doubt FM systems will be affected, besides most states are now on digital, so they won't be of much help, IMHO, unfortunately.

I think we are alone in this battle against the consumer junk that is now rampant amongst us, next to our own homes and stations.  The FCC doesn't seem to be very interested either, nor do our elected representatives.  It's all about commerce and profit, jobs, etc.  Hams are just a pin-prick, nuisance at best and of no economic impact on the big picture.

This being the case, you could possibly have returned it to the seller for a refund when you first noticed the problem. Seeing as it's two years now, I doubt you could return it now, but you could still try.
